CCEd Forthcoming Events

2008-05-16: Forthcoming event - CCEd Conference 20-21 June 2008

On Friday 20 and Saturday 21 June 2008 the CCEd Project will host a conference entitled 'Anglican Clergy 1540-1835: charting the dynamics of an early modern profession in the Clergy of the Church of England Database'. It will take place at the Institute of Historical Research, Senate House, Malet Street, London. The first day is aimed primarily at academics and is entitled 'Clerical cohorts: prosopographical insights'. It will explore the potential of CCEd for writing the collective history of the clergy through a variety of case studies. The second day is aimed primarily at genealogists and local historians and is entitled 'Clerical ancestors and local stories'. It will discuss the value of the Database for archivists, local historians and genealogists, exploring the ways in which CCEd serves these constituencies, as well as highlighting some traps for the unwary in researching the history of historic clergy. All are welcome to attend on either day or both, though we hope that as many as possible will come on both days. Please contact m.e.clayton[@]reading.ac.uk or s.j.c.taylor[@]reading.ac.uk for further details. Alternatively, a draft programme in pdf format can be downloaded from the link below. There is no charge for attendance and lunch will be provided. We would be grateful if you would inform Mary Clayton (m.e.clayton[@]reading.ac.uk]) if you wish to attend, so that we can make the catering arrangements.
